A plume of ash swirls over Kol-Tukulg, a dramatic
volcano in the Forest Ridge. At most times, the mountain
is quiet, but now and then, the cloud of ash and smoke
pouring from its apex swells alarmingly. When this occurs,
nearby halfling tribes mount an expedition to the summit
and throw several living sacrifices into the caldera. They
believe that this method is the only way to quiet KolTukulg of the Fiery Tread, a terrible elemental creature
that lairs in the fiery caverns of the volcano that bears
its name. Ancient wards of primal magic trap the mighty
being in the mountain, but the defenses have weakened
over the centuries, and the elemental grows restive.
